Filtronic, a British satellite firm, reported a profit decline for the six months ending 30 November 2025, despite holding a record order book. Revenue was £25.3 million, slightly down from £25.6 million the previous year.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to £5.1 million from £8.7 million, and operating profit fell to £2.6 million from £6.8 million, impacted by investments in personnel, facilities, and product development. Cash generation improved with operating cash flow rising to £3.4 million from £2.1 million.

Notably, Filtronic secured a £47.3 million contract with SpaceX in August 2025 for its gallium nitride E-band technology, and additional contracts with a European space customer and a £13.4 million deal with a European defense firm. Approximately 90% of current year revenues are covered by contracted orders, and the company remains confident in meeting market expectations.
